It’s our distinct pleasure to introduce the eighth episode of The GE Show: Manufacturing. (Don’t know about The GE Show? It’s a episodic series we make with GE, showcasing their technology, people, and problem-solving in inventive ways.) This was an exciting episode for us, not just because we got to visit enormous factories and play computer games all day, but because we got a chance to delve into the guts of a company that makes real physical things — a rarity these days.

Healthcare is a complex topic. The science is bleeding-edge and constantly evolving, and the concepts are often very abstract. With those challenges in mind, we approached Episode 7 of The GE Show with ambitious goals – to explain the way 3D medical images are produced, to demonstrate the future of personalized cancer care, and to show how aggregate data visualization is changing the way we think about individual medical cases.

This time we’ve returned to the fertile skies of the aviation world, exploring the problems and potential of the future of flight.

Midway through 2009, we got word that the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame would be be throwing a huge concert event to celebrate their 25th anniversary. They were understandably secretive about the artist list, so when we got the final bill, our jaws dropped. Stevie Wonder. Aretha Franklin. Simon & Garfunkel performing together. Metallica with Lou Reed and Ray Davies. U2 performing with Bruce Springsteen and Mick Jagger. Woah.

So we got on the ball and built a fitting site. It’s simple and smooth, but packs a lot of content into a small space. It features artist biographies, iTunes playlists hand-picked by the Rock Hall, merchandise, video, and unique artist pages. The show happened back in October, but much of the site is still up at rockhall25.com.
